Two quatrains
Year:? Don? Author:? Du Fu
Jiangshan bathed in spring, how beautiful, flowers send flowers.
Swallows are busy nesting in wet mud and sleeping in pairs on the warm beach.
The water waves in the river, the white feathers of waterfowl, the green and red flowers on the mountain are in contrast, and you want to burn.
This spring is coming to an end. When will I go home?
2. Translation:
The mountains and rivers are bathed in spring, so beautiful, and the spring breeze brings the fragrance of flowers and plants.
Swallows are busy building nests with wet mud in their mouths, and couples of mandarin ducks are sleeping on the warm beach.
The blue river reflects the snow-white feathers of waterfowl, and the gloomy mountains and red flowers are about to burn.
This spring is coming to an end. What is the date of my return to China?
3. Appreciate:
Tao Yukai, a poetry theorist in the Qing Dynasty, pointed out in his book On Du Fu that there are many works in Du Fu's anthology that "take poetry as painting". This five-character quatrain written in Chengdu Caotang is a very poetic masterpiece. At the beginning of the poem, I began to use ink from a big place, depicting the beautiful spring scenery around Huanhuaxi under the bright sunshine in early spring. This pen is simple and colorful. "Late day" means spring day, which means "spring night" in The Book of Songs, Wind and July. Here is used to highlight the sunshine in early spring, so as to control the whole. At the same time, the word "Li" is used to dye "Jiangshan", which shows the beautiful scenery of beautiful spring and green streams reflecting the sun. Although this is a sketch, the bottom of the pen is a spring swing.
